﻿Writer's Workshop﻿

﻿Students learn to write using the Writer's Workshop model. Students learn the various steps of the writing process. They move fluidly in and out of each step. Students look at expert models of writing, understanding and outlining the various components of each genre. Students use remarkable writing techniques practiced throughout the academic day to complete a rough draft. They collaborate to revise and edit their own writing, as well as each other's. We utilize critique and feedback in order to make changes. Students work with heterogeneous partners so they can better learn from each other and solidify learning by teaching their peers.﻿
